They start out at the height the template entity is placed in the editor. This works with dynamically created terrain or terrain consisting of irregular heights like when it was made from patches.

	Finding the height where the entity is placed is a three-step process, and the '''"floor"''' (or [[#seed_floor\|'''seed_floor''']] per class) disables/enables the second step.
